I'm unfortunate because while weed is a great disassociative recreation for me and basically a part of my culture, it seriously suppresses my ability to think through complex issues in the way that's required for the technical work / hobbies I do, while adderal and other stimulant-type meds make me very tense and aggravated even at low doses. I've heard good things about clonadine though, non-stimulant adhd med, I've got plans to ask my doc about it.

    I'm on clonidine because I have a multi-generational family history of aortic dissection. I was on vyvanse for about two years before my dad's aorta killed him. I've never been more on top of my life than when I was on a stimulant. But clonidine absolutely does help me focus, and it reduces the noise in my head, even if the effects are less profound than the stim.

    I just added buproprion back into my daily meds, hoping that's going to help more with the executive dysfunction
